The first congress of the French Dental Association (ADF) took place in 1974 and over the years has become the largest international oral health exhibition in Europe... and it is French, Parisian even! Usually organized at the end of November by the French Dental Association at the Palais des congrès de la Porte Maillot in Paris, it brings together more than 25,000 participants, from dental surgeons, orthodontists, prosthetists, to dental assistants, students and teachers!
The scientific program offers around 100 sessions with 400 expert speakers, covering various topics such as endodontics, periodontology and implantology. The Congress also includes a vast exhibition (more than 12,700 m²) spread over 4 levels and bringing together 300 exhibitors. Visitors can discover the latest technological advances in the sector, such as 3D imaging, CAD/CAM systems, and new dental materials. The congress is reserved for professionals, and prices exceed 600 euros! However, access to the exhibition is free.
Occupying all levels of the Palais des congrès de la Porte Maillot, the congress exhibition is a real showcase for all exhibitors, who compete with ideas to make their stand stand out and offer their products and innovations. They can therefore rent LED, OLED, transparent or touch screens from A-Loc Audiovisuel; Large LED screens or interactive LED floors are also available for rental.
Edition 2021
The 2021 edition of the ADF (French Dental Association) congress is somewhat unusual, in that it is presented by the organiser as the rescheduled version of the 2020 event, which was cancelled (or, therefore, postponed) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It can indeed be regarded as a postponement, as this will in fact be the 49th congress, which was originally due to take place in November 2020.
All professionals in the dental sector will come together to foster networking and dialogue, with a view to pooling new ideas and initiatives within the sector and promoting new techniques. The congress will take place from 23 to 27 November, but the exhibition will not open its doors until 24 November.
Remember to hire audiovisual and IT equipment from your partner, A-Loc Audiovisuel, to get your messages across during these four days of the exhibition, including LED screens, giant screens, touchscreens and transparent screens, as well as touchscreen kiosks and consoles.
